The Boys and Girls Club of Placer County at the Mullin and McAdams Clubhouse in Auburn opened the Spring Break Camp Monday, March 25 with many activities available for club members.

“The club members can find everything from reading, fitness, arts, games, cooking, music and field trips,” said director of operations Eric Ciampa. “There are 10 hours of programming each day and every hour brings a new choice of activities for club members,” he said.

The Spring Break Camp runs all week from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and it’s not too late to sign up children for the fun events. Children 6 through 18 years of age are welcome.

“The idea of the camp is to have fun, learn and be engaged in something positive,” said Boys and Girls Club of Placer County CEO Randy Tooker.
